Members anvlts Posted August 23, 2018 Members Report Posted August 23, 2018 Hello there, a friend of mine offered this machine to me. It's old, but still in a relatively good condition. Wondering if other folks use this machine for leatherworking. Thanks, Marko Quote An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made, in a narrow field. -Niels Bohr
kgg Posted August 23, 2018 Report Posted August 23, 2018 It all depends on what you plan to sew with it but the Adler 541 is a post bed machine that I think would be more for glove making, upholstery weight sewing, installing patches on coats or other hard to reach areas. I have seen a post bed turned into a flat bed with a home made table top to have more versatilely. kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver
Members anvlts Posted August 23, 2018 Author Members Report Posted August 23, 2018 I am actually looking for a post bed sewing machine, but with a wheel foot, like Pfaff 491. Converting regular foot on Adler 541 into a wheel foot might not be possible, due to the position of the feeding dog. Trying to figure out if I might have use for Adler 541,, or if I should sell it and get Pfaff 491.
